Lucy Monroe - Close Quarters

To some, he is an assassin. To others, he’s merely the man who gets the job done when no one else can. Now politico-military black-ops leader Roman Chernichenko has to take out the leak in an espionage plot that could destabilize all of Africa. Nothing will distract him from his mission. Not even the deliciously appealing blonde who’s awoken his deepest desires—and just happens to be his target...

Tanya Ruston is a beautiful and brainy do-gooder—and now Roman is supposed to dispose of her when all he really wants to do is seduce her. Soon it’s clear Tanya’s no information agent—and now that his conscience has gotten the better of him, he and Tanya are on the run from the good guys and bad. If they’re going to make it out alive, Roman will have to act fast—and stop thinking about how he’s going to get his feisty new charge down the aisle...

Dedication
For my daughter, Isabelle and my new son Travis. You two were made for each other and I thank God with all my heart for bringing you together and blessing our family with both of you in it. You are both so very precious to me and I am grateful beyond measure to call you my children. May the light of your love shine until the end of your days and may it warm the children you will have and everyone else around you!

With special thanks to Alicia Condon, my new editor and a woman destined to be called friend. This book would never have made it to production without you and I am truly grateful. Your compassion and understanding have blessed me beyond measure and I look forward to working with you on many more books. Thank you!
